ASUS Rampage III Extreme wooooooohooohoooo! cant wait till i get my hand on those ... just too bad the 12gb ram is 1 kit 3x2gb corsair 1600 and 1 kit Patriot 1600 but i think if he sells it together that mean they work fine together 2nd concern is those ram have high heatspreader and the Macho hang above the 1st slot on a AM3 board i wonder on a 1366 ...

Replaced an aged Hyper 212 with a TR Macho...I want to be a macho man, and it looks cool, but it doesn't seem to be better than the 212 by leaps and bounds. Also replaced all case fans with the Corsair SP120 high performance PWM's, which are serious air pumpers. Never going to retire this old Lancool case.

I agree, the retainers TR uses are a little more complicated, but they are very secure and seem to do a good job spreading the load around to the back plate anchors. Thankfully on the Macho they have moved to threaded screws on the anchor plate, rather than the spring loaded system used on the Silver Arrow (possibly others) that allowed you to possibly use way too much mounting pressure.
